Fantasy Baseball 2012: The Effect of Citi Field's New Dimensions

Since Citi Field opened in 2009, the Mets' home ballpark has been the hardest to hit a home run in. Citi Field has only allowed 1.43 home runs per game, the lowest of any stadium.

With a 415-foot power alley in right center and a wall 16 feet high in some places, it's easy to see why this was such a pitcher-friendly park.

Citi Field will have new, smaller dimensions, however, for the 2012 season. Most notably, the wall in right center field will be moving in 17 feet. In addition, most of the outfield will have eight-foot walls, which will also help make this park a more hitter-friendly one.

Let's take a look at how this may affect the fantasy values of a couple of Mets heading into the upcoming season.
